One Foot in Front of the Other {A Pietro Maximoff fanfiction}

We were all normal kids; we all had parents, a home... Well, up until we were ten years old. That was when everything was put to ruin. That was when Tony Stark ruined my life with his missile testing. Ten years old, and I was ready to throw myself off of a bridge. I would have too, if it weren't for a little boy with dazzling blue eyes who told me: "You've just got to put one foot in front of the other."
~Rahelle Weber

This is the story of a girl who lost everything, and gained everything. It describes a life of growing up on the streets, finding hope only to have it tortured out of Rahelle, and love. What was life like for the Maximoffs and Rahelle before they volunteered for Strucker's experiments? How did three orphans manage to become so important in everyone's lives?

(Not my best description, but hey, I promise the story is good (hopefully)!)
